Bit of Everything

Finally after lot of waiting, internet on my phone worked. My mind was flowing with the idea for the blog but unfortunately internet on my phone was testing my patience.
Anyways you must have guessed by the title that what this blog will be all about. When my colleague and I were catching the train two beggars came in our compartment. And as usual they started asking for money. Then suddenly female sitting next to us asked them question and interesting aspect came into the whole journey.
The boy had some mark on his hand, when inquired how he got it. His friend answered,"Item k liye kiya hai."

Finally I got an opportunityto read the book and it was more impressive than the movie. The story revolves around an Afghan family living in Kabul. The characters essentially consist of Amir and his father Baba, their Hazara servant Ali and his son Hassan and Baba’s old friend and business partner Rahim Khan. Hazara are the people who are treated as lower communities in Afghanistan. Amir and Hassan were good friends but Amir was  jea…
